10. Even though they got it backwards, unless they work Sunday, it doesn't really matter, right?

They can sleep as long as they want.

But if you really want to explain it to them, the easiest way I've found is this: The day is 24 hours. When we move the clock back an hour, we do the same hour over again. That's 25 hours. When we move the clock forward, we skip an hour. That's 23 hours.

Its only Monday morning when you go to work that all hell breaks out.
Either your an hour late or an hour early. Spring late Fall early - that's the one to remember.

Doesn't happen for a week or two here.

And your three people will be walking around yawning for a few days.

*on edit--I just checked. It's March 31 here. Yay, three full weeks of only 6 hours of time difference with Dallas!

They wake me up at 4 so they can eat and go out. This morning Joey woke me up at 5:01. Now I can wake up at 5 instead if 4.

Had to remind myself every morning that it was really an hour earlier.

Looks like its correct again.
